Summary

Major surgery on the eye and orbit requires special techniques in which anaesthesia plays a central role. Equally, the proliferation of day surgery and the suitability of minor eye operations to local anaesthetic and day care has led to many new developments in local as well as generalanaesthesia. This book covers both general and local anaesthesia and provides a definitive reference and expert practical guide to the subject.
